She attended Needham High School and graduated in 1970 and then Henry O. Pebody Hairdressing School in 1971. High school sweethearts, Dinnie married Paul and they shared many years together sharing their love and laughter with family and friends.
She was also a cherished friend and "sister" to Joanna Mack of Needham and her entire family. Dinnie also had a special place in her heart for her godsons, Jason, Joseph Mack and Jack Williams, who she loved to share stories about with anyone who would listen. She was so proud of them and loved spending any time she could with their whole family.

She made many friends through her work. Prior to Sabell’s she worked at Salett's Meats in Newton. Dinnie had a compassion for the elderly, taking them to appointments, shopping or just a visit.
Dinnie enjoyed her Dunkin' coffee, the beach and a trip to the casino every now and then. She loved going places, anywhere you wanted to go, Dinnie was ready and willing. Dinnie loved her family and friends dearly. Her laugh always brought a smile to Paul’s face.

Deenie was one of the first people I got to know when our family moved to Needham in 1965. We were in the same CCD class at St Joe's. My sister married one of her brother's good friends, Joe Lemay. On occasion, we would all get together to celebrate and raise a glass or 2. She was a kind woman.Robert Rossi
Dinnie and I were good friends at Neuman and into High School. I would go to her for haircuts after we were out of high school, in the family house basement. She was just learning the trade and even then she was very good at it... you could just tell. I have only fond memories of Dinnie.

So sorry to hear of Dinnie's passing. We hung around in the Newman Jr. High years and she was always a good friend and fun to be around.

Whenever I saw Dini she had a hearty hello and a warm contagious laugh. May she rest in peace.
